30,000-Mile GE FlexEfficiency* Truck Tour Winds up in New
York City Region

WEEHAWKEN, NJ--February 13, 2013: After covering
more than 30,000 miles, GE's FlexEfficiency*
Truck Tour, showcasing the power generation technology of tomorrow,
will
make its 27th and final stop Wednesday, Feb. 13 in
Weehawken,
N.J., across the Hudson River from New York City.

“We are happy to be involved in a project that will provide
cleaner,
more efficient and reliable power to the northern New Jersey grid,
while
bringing employment and new revenue to Newark”

"Our North American FlexEfficiency Truck Tour has been a
tremendous
success, with more than 4,000 people visiting the trailer to learn
how
the latest innovation in power generation will meet
today's energy
challenges while driving economic growth," said Paul
Browning, president
and CEO, Thermal Products for GE Power & Water. "It is
especially
fitting that we are concluding our tour in New Jersey, since our new
FlexEfficiency technology will support a major project that will add
cleaner, flexible and highly efficient energy for this
region."

The Newark Energy Center, a 655-megawatt gas-fired combined-cycle
power
plant, will use GE
7F 5-series gas turbines, which are members of the FlexEfficiency 60
portfolio. Scheduled to begin service in 2015, the facility will be
one
of the cleanest of its kind in the United States, thanks to its use
of
natural gas and advanced emissions control technology.

"We are happy to be involved in a project that will
provide cleaner,
more efficient and reliable power to the northern New Jersey grid,
while
bringing employment and new revenue to Newark," said Scott
Thon,
executive vice president, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., the engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) company for the Newark project.
SNC-Lavalin has a long history of working with GE F-class gas
turbines,
having installed 70 such units at power plants around the world.

This custom-built, 18-wheel FlexEfficiency tractor-trailer, loaded
with
interactive, innovative exhibits and demonstrations of
GE's newest
technology, was unveiled
Sept. 26 during a global launch event in San Francisco. During its
five-month tour, it has showcased the key features and benefits of
FlexEfficiency
60 technology for customers, engineering students, media
representatives, industry analysts, GE employees and members of the
general public who have visited the trailer.

Built for the United States and other 60-hertz countries,
GE's new
FlexEfficiency 60 Portfolio of products addresses the emerging need
for
flexible, efficient technology capable of providing electricity with
record-setting efficiency. The strong global demand for this new
technology has resulted in more than $1.5 billion in orders from the
U.S., Japan and Saudi Arabia. These sales comprise orders for 22 gas
turbines--16 for the 7F 5-series gas turbines and six
for the 7F
7-series gas turbines.

GE's FlexEfficiency portfolio of gas turbines can
provide highly
efficient baseload power and unprecedented flexibility to pair
natural
gas with renewables. This natural gas-fired technology can rapidly
increase its power output in response to fluctuations in wind and
solar
power, which will enable more renewable resources to be integrated
onto
the power grid.

"We believe that the FlexEfficiency 60 Portfolio
represents the
cornerstone of America's energy future and can help
build a cleaner and
sustainable energy infrastructure," Browning said.
"Renewable energy
resources such as wind and solar offer an exciting opportunity to
develop new ways to meet the country's power needs. But
when the sun
isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing,
we need other sources of
energy. As an abundant and cleaner fossil fuel, natural gas fits
nicely
into today's energy equation. FlexEfficiency 60
technology is the most
efficient, flexible natural gas technology available in the power
industry today."

GE will build the FlexEfficiency 60 Portfolio of products in the
United
States for shipment around the globe. The gas turbines within this
American-made portfolio will be built and fully validated in
GE's
Greenville, S.C., facility. Steam turbines and generators will be
manufactured in Schenectady, N.Y., and controls in Salem, Va.

An ecomagination*-qualified
product configured to take on some of the world's
toughest environmental
challenges, a FlexEfficiency 60 Combined Cycle Power Plant will avoid
2.6 million metric tons of carbon emissions per year when compared to
an
equal sized coal power plant1. This emissions reduction is
equivalent to a half million U.S. drivers trading in their cars for
bicycles.
